Excuse me? You're saying that the media would have KILLED George Bush? That his LIFE was at risk? You are saying that the prospect of being CRITICIZED is sufficient reason to make oneself an accomplice in a murder.
And the police who are guarding the hospice are all the moral equivalent of S.S. at Auschwitz. Every one of them is disregarding the fact that a woman in the hospice is being murdered, and is "chust obeying orderss" like a good Nazi. Every one of those cops is offering the State of Florida blind obedience. Blind obedience is a form of fanaticiam--i.e., a form of idolatry. In this case, it is idolatry offered to the State, giving the State the place in one's life that only God has a right to.
Jeb Bush is also an idolater, no longer a Christian, because his god is the State of Florida, to whose total, absolute authority over human life Bush is willing to offer, in homage, Terri Schiavo's life. Bush has faced a choice: to be a Christian, or to occupy (without facing a crisis) a position within the God-State of Florida. He has chosen his god, the State.
What we are seeing in the cops and in the Bushes is fanaticism, idolatry, and totalitarianism. They all concede to the State the power to take innocent life, and they are all willing to collaborate in the State's murders.

Someone once posted that last week was Governor Jeb's St Thomas Moore moment. I believe that is accurate. In other words, I second your take. Would love to believe King on GW, but I have firm doubts? Anyone know a posible time ine for even passing more legistlation?
